Grado TLZ ???

Hi,
I have a TLZ,it has not been made for 10 years,it was a $500.00 cartridge,the replacement stylus is still available for $250.00 from the needle doctor.Did you buy this new,you can call Grado for information on this.The gold is about $250.00 new.

I have been using Grado's for 30 years,so here's the scoop!
There was a signature 8 and 10 then they came out with the Z line which was the mcz,tlz,xlz,the v at the end of the number was the mark five version. If you have a gold with a tlz stylus something is rotten in Denmark!

Also there are numbers you can see looking at the rear, find the month and year; if you have that, you have a TLZ. The Gold body is gold not silver. Hope this helps.
